There are a few cheats we can use!
Grammarly is an awesome little plugin that when enabled will highlight and offer corrections to any grammar or spelling mistakes.
It also has a contextual spell checker which highlights any correctly spelt words that are being used in the wrong context.

You could provide those stats to your client when you return the fully proofed article.
Proofreading is a simple and effective service you can provide and you can make it 10 times easier on yourself by using these tools.
